Based on Gotye’s ‘Somebody that I used to know’
Now and then I think of when I used to do this<br />
Like when I said this was a simple thing to build<br />
I told myself that it was right for me<br />
To build this software for your company<br />
But I was wrong and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kinda project<br />
Like a death march to the end, always the end<br />
So when we found that it could not make sense<br />
To do this project with this recompense<br />
Then I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off<br />
Make out like it never happened and that I did nothing<br />
I don’t even need your cash, but you treat me like a stranger<br />
And that feels so rough
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low<br />
Take my work, write up an invoice<br />
And then take the money<br />
Guess that I don’t need that though<br />
Now it’s just some software that I used to build
Now it’s just some software that I used to build
Now it’s just some software that I used to build
(
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over<br />
But had me believin it was always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna work that way<br />
Reading into every word you say<br />
You said that you could write new code<br />
And I wouldn’t catch you hacking on some software that you used to
buiiiild
)
But you didn’t have to cut me off<br />
Make out like it never happened and that I did nothing<br />
I don’t even need your cash, but you treat me like a stranger<br />
And that feels so rough
(oh)
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low<br />
Take my work, write up an invoice<br />
And then take the money<br />
Guess that I don’t need that though<br />
Now it’s just some software that I used to build
Some software (I used to build)<br />
Some software that I used to build<br />
Some software (now it’s just some software that I used to build)<br />
That I used to build<br />
Some software that I used to build<br />
Some software (Some software) (now it’s just some software that I used
to build)<br />
That I used to build
I used to build<br />
That I used to build<br />
I used to build<br />
